do you valance or drape?

I am always curious about what other people use in their homes for window coverings. I am a tooth person and a window person, those are the first things I notice, just the way I am.

I really love valances, especially because our windows give way to a pretty view. Although I do have one set of drapes in my dining room.

Sometimes I want to be a drape person, they are so luxurious and pretty...sometimes I look at my windows and want to dress them in linen, but I love the valances I have. They add height and color to the room while allowing us to look out into the backyard we work so hard on.

Sooo, while scouring Pininterst today I found these rooms that sparked my interest and thought...

What do you do? Do you valance or drape?

What are your thoughts when you have three windows all on one wall, two of which are in the living room and one that is in the eat in kitchen?

Do you dress them all the same? Would you drape one and valance the rest?

 I would love some feedback on what all my blog friends think!

And now for what I dress my windows with!

fence panel headboard

To cheap to buy a headboard for you kid? Love DIY projects? Have an old fence panel lying around that you cant get rid of because you know the minute you do you will need it? 

Then this post is for you!

I fall under all three categories, I hate spending money when I can DIY something crafty for free.

I never thought about blogging about the fence panel headboard in my sons room because we have had it for so long, but recently some friends came over for the first time and loved it so I thought "self, why not blog about it!" If my friends love it maybe my blog friends will too!" I know pallets are all the rage right now and yes I love them too but I really love the fence headboard!  Especially since I already have it...

The only things we had to do was cut the panel vertically to the width we wanted and then attach it to the bed. My son is a die hard cowboy, and on the ranches here in Texas you will see boots on the fence posts, thus the upside down boots.

Cheap. Quick. and Different. My three favorite things!
